I noticed people started to use the idea of “no ethical consumption under capitalism” to just be completely irresponsible and just stop trying at all. I don’t think the point of that is to give up completely lol

Solidarity

Libs just use this to mean sympathy without any of the underlying class consciousness that really means "your suffering is mine and this unifies us"

Intersectionality

Libs just use this as a way to play oppression Olympics and rank everyone according to their intersecting identities, rather than using it to try to understand how they intersect.
